Toshiba 233MHz video CT65555
Monitor dot-clock for 640 28, for 800 35

Works with svgalib (zgv) only as plain VGA.  Does not work as VESA (I 
forget what it does -segfault?)

Hitachi 133mHz vidoe CT65444
Monitor dot-clock for 640 31.5, for 800 37  (I changed the 36 to a 37 in 
Steven's modeline after learning this).
svgalib 'chipset VESA' works perfectly.  with chipset VGA it is squashed 
sideways.  zgv displays pretty well with 16 colors.

Neither work with chipset unspecified - blank screen or odd pattern and 
you need to reboot.

Better monitor on an older computer.  Also nicer keyboard.

I don't know why the chipset with the lower number works as VESA and the 
other does not.

I could not get the BL1 zgv to work on either computer.  It seems to need
libc5 AND uclibc.  Or maybe that is only because I have them both on here?
I think it segfaulted but I don't really remember.

I used David's recent zgv for kernel 2.4.31 (with kernel 2.2.16, since I 
can't get PCMCIA cards to work with 2.2.26 modules).  It needs
ld-uClibc.so.0, libm.so.0 libc.so.0 and libvga.so.1.4.3 (older versions 
won't work).

I could not get even that zgv to work on a desktop with a nice ATI card 
(32MB RAM? - does framebuffer and Xvesa correctly).

Same dependencies, I checked sizes of them.
Can't resolve symbol '__stdin'

Where did I goof or is it the card?  We have BL2 on this computer so this 
is no big deal.

I would try the zgv I have used with BL2 but it needs libpng, libtiff, 
libjpeg, libvgagl.  I can try the combination I used with usbcam linux.
